Bigtime watch kit, my weekend project

Post04 Sep 2013, 16:14

Stumbled on this kit a few months ago, 25 euro...what the heck..bought it and finally had the time to finish it while babysitting my 20 months old daughter in the morning so my wife could sleep a little longer :-D

the box

All the pieces and a guide

perfect kit for people who never worked with a soldering iron...it's all very good explained in the manuel even how to solder.

Image

i just did the quartz :-D

Finish and testing

Image

getting it all together and taking the protected film off.

Conclusion: perfect kit to get to know about digital watches and how to soldern but way to big to wear. But it was fun :-D
Enjoy :mega:
